现代社会,媒体对公权力及社会公共生活的监督作用越来越大,所以媒体又有“第四权力”和“无冕之王”之称。但是在媒体与公权力监督与被监督的过程中会产生不少冲突,其中,又以司法权与媒体的摩擦最大,关系最复杂。司法权力是否能够公平公正行使,司法程序是否合理透明,都关系到是否能够实现和维护好公民的切身利益,是否能使社会正义得到伸张,是否能扬善除恶维持稳定的社会秩序。随着民主社会的不断发展,公民对于言论自由及维护自身权利的意识不断增强,媒体也更多地意识到自身发表公众舆论、进行社会监督的职责,因此媒体对司法权力的运作关注度也越来越多。媒体与司法的关系由此成为社会各界关注的焦点。 In modern society, the media is playing a more and more important role in supervising public power and social public life. Therefore, the media has the title of “fourth power” and “king without crown”. However, there are many conflicts in the process of supervising and supervising the media and public power. Among them, the friction between the judicial power and the media is the largest with the most complicated relationship. Whether the judicial power can be exercised fairly and justly and whether the judicial procedure is reasonable and transparent are all related to whether the vital interests of the citizens can be realized and maintained, whether the social justice can be extended and whether the evil can maintain the stable social order. With the continuous development of a democratic society, citizens are increasingly aware of their freedom of expression and their rights. The media are also more aware of their responsibilities of public opinion and social supervision. Therefore, the media are paying more attention to the operation of judicial power More and more. The relationship between the media and the judiciary thus became the focus of attention of all sectors of society.
